The role of institutional and reputational factors in the voluntary adoption of corporate social responsibility reporting standards (2011, background): “While institutional pressures have been shown to be strong determinants of adoption not only of voluntary CSR reporting practices, but of all other types of innovation practices and technology adoption ( Aerts et al. 2006 ), our study is the first to test the idea that CSR reporting is at the base o”
New Evidence on the Role of the Media in Corporate Social Responsibility (2016, neutral): “more valuable for larger firms (e.g., Ioannou and Serafeim 2012; Ho et al. 2012; Jackson and Apostoloku 2010; Bertels and Peloza 2008; Udayasankar 2007; Aerts et al. 2006), we seek to more definitively answer whether size matters by examining the interaction of firm size and media freedom.”
Motives and Performance Outcomes of Sustainable Supply Chain Management Practices: A Multi-theoretical Perspective (2017, background): “Imitation plays a considerable role for firms in developed countries such as Canada, France, and Germany (Aerts et al. 2006) as well as in developing countries such as China (Zhu et al.”
An Institutional Theory perspective on sustainable practices across the dairy supply chain (2014, background): “Mimetic isomorphic drivers occur when enterprises imitate the actions of successful competitors in the industry, in an attempt to replicate the path to success and hence legitimacy (Aerts et al., 2006; Sarkis et al., 2011); for example, dedicated sustainable milk supply for supermarkets.”
Sustainable supplier development practices: Drivers and enablers in a global context (2015, background): “Finally, mimetic drivers push firms to imitate successful competitors in the same industry (Aerts et al., 2006).”
The institutionalisation of corporate social responsibility reporting (2014, result): “For example, our study goes beyond Aerts, Cormier, and Magnan (2006), who find evidence that mimetic isomorphism could be a factor explaining environmental reporting.”
